The Canadian- American economist John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) was born in Iona Station.
The Iona Station General store (which is closed now) was operated by D.J. McBride and was taken over by his son, Arthur. At the same time a blacksmith shop on the east side of the townline was operated by Harold "Boots" Dundas.
The farmhouse and barn of Wayne Kellestine, charged with the 2006 Shedden Massacre, is located nearby.
